A Word on Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.

iron pot

magnetic circuit ceramic glass plate induction coil induced currents

Before Using Your New Induction Cooktop

• Read this guide, taking special note of the 'Safety Warnings' section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your cooktop.

Using the Touch Controls

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

Choosing the Right Cookware

- Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.

- You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

- If you do not have a magnet:

1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

- Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. When using a pot with a slightly wider base, energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Pan dimensions

The cooking zones, automatically adapt to the diameter of the pan up to limit. However the bottom of the pan must have a minimum diameter according to the correspond cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

4.2 For model HCI905FTB3, touch zone selection icon and hold +/B for 3 seconds to quit boost function.

Restrictions when using

The cooktop models with four cooking zones has these zones divided into two groups. In one group, if using boost on one zone, first make sure that the other zone is set to power level 5 or below. Otherwise the boost function will be unable to activate. When the group is in flex mode, both zones can be set to boost.

Specially for HCI604TB3/HCI604TG3, the boost function will have a different limitation in each group according to the Power Management of 2.5kW/ 3.0kW/ 4.5kW/ 6.5kW and 7.4kW that you choose.

The five zone model is also divided into two groups. In group a, if using boost on one zone, first make sure that the other zone is set to power level 5 or below. When group a is in flex mode, both zones can be set to Boost function. In group b, you can only use Boost function for one zone at a time. If you try to use the Boost for two zones at the same time, the first zone which is using Boost function will drop out of boost function and switch to power level 5.

Using the Power Management

For model HCI604TB3/HCI604TG3

Using power management you can set the total power to 2.5kW/ 3.0kW/ 4.5kW/ 6.5kW and 7.4kW. The default total power setting is the maximum power level.

Setting the total power level to fit your requirement

Touch and hold "+" and "-" for 1 second again to switch to another power level, for example 3.0. When the power that you want is flashing, press and hold the "Pause" icon for 5 seconds. The buzzer will beep 10 times. It means you have changed the setting.

Note:

1. After step 2, you must touch the "+" and "-" within 3 seconds after you hear the beep. Otherwise, you will need to start again from step 2.
2. Once finish setting, wait till the end of 10 beeps. Do not touch any icon during this period. Otherwise, the setting will be invalid.

Power management Rules

If total power exceeds the limitation of 2.5kW, 3.0kW, 4.5kW, 6.5kW (depending on which level you've set), you are not able to increase power stage of any zone. If you increase it by touching '+', the cooktop will beep 3 times and indicator will show a flashing 'Pn'. Thus you need to decrease the power setting of other zones before increasing the power of the target zone.

For model HCI905FTB3

• Cooking zones are grouped according to the two phases in the cooktop (see group a & b illustration). Each phase has a maximum power loading of 3500 W. The function divides the power between cooking zones connected to the same phase.
• Group b has a function that decreases the power to the other cooking zones when the total power to group b exceeds 3500W
• Group b hasWhen using 3 cooking zones at the same time in group b, all 3 cooking zones can used up to power level 7
• When using 2 cooking zones in group b, the cooking zones can use up to power level 8 at the same time
• When only using 1 cooking zone in group b, the highest power level of the zone is Boost

Flex Zone

• This area can be used as a single zone or as two different zones, according to cooking needs.
• The flex zone is made of two independent inductors that can be controlled separately. When working as a single zone, as cookware is moved from one zone to another within the flexible area the cooktop will keep the power level for the cookware constant. The part that is no longer covered by cookware will not heat.
• Important: Make sure to place the cookware centered on the single cooking zone. In case of big pots, oval, rectangular, and elongated pans, make sure to place the pans centered on the cooking zone covering both crosses.

Examples of good and bad pot placements:

Cooking Guidelines

Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you're using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.

Cooking Tips

• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.

Simmering, cooking rice

• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85°C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

Searing steak

To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:

1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more 'well done' it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.

For stir-frying

1. Choose an induction compatible wok or a large frying pan with a flat base.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.

Heat Settings

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.

Heat setting	Suitability
1 - 2	·delicate warming for small amounts of food·melting chocolate, butter, and foods that burn quickly·gentle simmering·slow warming
3 - 4	·reheating·rapid simmering·cooking rice
5 - 6	·pancakes
7 - 8	·sautéing·cooking pasta
9	·stir-frying·searing·bringing soup to the boil·boiling water

Care and Cleaning

What?	How?	Important!
Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers on the glass)	1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.	·When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no 'hot surface' indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.·Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.·Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.
Boilovers, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass	Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for Induction glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for 'Everyday soiling on glass' above.	·Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.·Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
Spillovers on the touch controls	1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.2. Soak up the spill3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.	·The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the touch control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible causes	What to do
The induction hob cannot be turned on.	No power.	Make sure the induction hob is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on.Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you've checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician.
The touch controls are unresponsive.	The controls are locked.	Unlock the controls. See section 'Using your induction cooktop' for instructions.
The touch controls are difficult to operate.	There may be a slight film of water over the controls or you may be using the tip of your finger when touching the controls.	Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls.
The glass is being scratched.	Rough-edged cookware.Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.	Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See 'Choosing the right cookware'.See 'Care and cleaning'.
Some pans make crackling or clicking noises.	This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently).	This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.
The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting.	This is caused by the technology of induction cooking.	This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting.
Fan noise coming from the induction hob.	A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you've turned the induction hob off.	This is normal and needs no action.Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.
Pans do not become hot and appears in the display.	The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking.The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centred on it.	Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section 'Choosing the right cookware'.Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone.
The induction hob or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is displayed (typically alternating with one or two digits in the cooking timer display).	Technical fault.	Please note down the error letters and numbers, switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall, and contact a qualified technician.

Fault Codes and Troubleshooting

If an abnormality occurs, the induction cooktop will automatically enter a protective state and display the corresponding fault codes:

Problem	Possible causes	What to do
F3/F4	Temperature sensor of the induction coil failure	Please contact the supplier.
F9/FA	Temperature sensor of the IGBT failure.	Please contact the supplier.
E1/E2	Abnormal supply voltage	Please check whether power supply is normal.Power on after the power supply is normal.
